    "GFW High school  in Minnesota is really leading the race at this point.  I  read the blog Ed Galaxy by Kevin Cummins regularly.  Kevin frequently shares great stuff.  Today is a wonderful article, The Ultimate Guide to Using iPads in the Classroom. In that article, he links to the GFW iPad Policy, Procedures and information.  It is chalked full of good information for any school thinking about 1:1 with iPads.  So, I did a little diggin and found their school website, including the iPad initiative pages that has even more useful information.  They are in their 2nd year of this, so, clearly they have a lot of the bugs worked out.  No need to re-invent the wheel, take their lead and learn from them!!  What more can I say, but WOW!!"

The result was the disheartening portrayal of disengagement you see below."

Video is Not the Answer - Brian Bennett - 1 views

  •  
    "Video itself will not help kids achieve more in your class. The flipped classroom is about making connections with learners and differentiating your instruction. If videos are a part of that multi-faceted plan, great. If they are not, still great."

    "A true flipped classroom is centered on the idea that technology can help us deliver quality teaching when and where the students are ready for it. Teaching methodology must be pedagogically sound in order for a flipped classroom to be effective, but that is no different than any other method being explored by teachers."

17 Signs Your Classroom is Behind the Times - SimpleK12 - 0 views

  •  
    This one is worth reading, but not because it's necessarily worth following. It's a wrong-headed approach to tech integration, one that values the tools above the pedagogical goals -- because it assumes that the use of the tool is valuable in itself. What it omits is why any one of these scenarios can support learning... which would be a much more effective way to lobby a teacher to use it...
